...and Another One

Another French battalion using HaT 8095. This time the officer is from the Italeri 6092 set, with a head replacement from a HaT 8095 figure. The drummer is a metal SHQ/Kennigton figure. Besides the drummer, the firing figure and the rear row, right hand figure are the only ones without head replacements.

As the natural light has been rubbish of late and I don't have a proper set up for indoor photography, I used the flash with these figures. I'm not usually a fan of flash photography with figures, but against the black background I reckon these have come out quite well.

I have about 4 more battalions of infantry to go, though if I have time, I thought I might replace some of my older figures which look a little basic by comparison. But as I've still got the Italian and Bavarian cavalry, a few more artillery stands, generals and pioneers to go, I may not actually get around to it!

About Me

Too much reading about the Napoleonic period led me to the next step of wargaming it! The onhand reservoir of information at the academic library I work in means I'm a pig in muck where research comes into it. The cost factor was always a hindrance and having a young family meant that I didn't have the time. Now my family are growing up and I have a bit more disposable income, I've discovered the wonderful world of wargaming in 20mm plastic (plus a little bit of lead)!
